Postal Service Indeed

October 26, 1985

WE HEAR criticism about the U.S. Postal Service, but I would like to share an experience I had.

I mailed several envelopes at the Fern Park post office and accidentally included a bill with a check, but with no envelope and the two items were not even stapled together. When I realized what I had done, I called the post office and was referred to the central office in Orlando.

The person I talked to there assured me that my $50 check and the bill would be put in an envelope and returned to me.

Still I was concerned. Should I stop payment on the check, as several well-meaning friends advised, or wait a few days to see if my check would be returned? I decided to wait.
